Autopsy Suggests Dorner Killed Himself

It looks like Christopher Dorner[2] killed himself in his showdown with police at a mountain cabin in California. Autopsy results show that Dorner died of a single gunshot wound to the head, reports AP[3].

While he had been in a fierce gunfight with officers prior to that, a spokesman for the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Office says the wound appears to be self-inflicted.

That gibes with reports from the scene at the time: Police say they heard a single shot as they began pumping in tear gas in the final assault.

The spokesman also confirmed that Dorner was hiding for days in a condo near the command center police set up for the manhunt.
